Fuck off, that’s what I say to that.

I really don’t see how calling them stupid cunts and then demonstrating quite how stupid they are does them much good at all.

Are you people for real, or are you just more of the gang Paddy Cosgrave uses to drive awareness of the campaign by getting them to write off the wall criticisms of it. I smell a set-up here. You people are working for Cosgrave aren’t you?

Christ, haven’t they fucked off yet?? Surely they realise people are simply laughing at them? And what does “Call into the office at any point if you’re interested in inputting for the years to come” mean? Sounds a bit ominous, I bet they’ll tie you up and kill you by forcing you to watch all the Mock the Vote videos.

Agreed, RTV are not working out in my opinion. The reason that the vast majority of young folk are not voting is because their needs are not being addressed by the political parties not because they don’t understand the system or are lacking rich-kid-pet-project-video-guidance-yaw. Hopefully they’ll disappear permanently after the 24th.

Not to be a completely shameless bastard (Well I am) here’s my post about why the whole things a sham http://www.johnmortell.com/2007/05/16/rock-the-vote-not-bloody-likely/
And yes it is getting a fair bit of public funds and no encouraging young people to vote is a good idea. Treating them like their fat retarded 8year olds in a sweet convention isn’t.

Sorry to add to my rant, but I’m just watching these Frazier Fraze videos and they prove my point exactly.

How are you encouraging someone to engage in politics with a weak attempt at comedy that isn’t even political satire?

Are we supposed to think “that guy’s hilarious, and while there is absolutely nothing close to a substantial reference in terms of the real issues, he has somehow really made me think.”

For God’s sake, they spend more time talking to Louis Walsh about Westlife and Boyzone than they do on Claire Byrne when she pretends to start discussing stamp duty.

And to think these guys are getting paid.
